[Notes]: Up to 127 single-byte characters (63 double-byte characters) including alphanumeric characters, Chinese characters, Hiragana and Katakana can be entered.
Click any of the following buttons to update policy to the CT.
When clicking the [Update at Next Startup] button
The policy of each tab will be updated to the database, but it will not be updated to the client (CT) immediately. Instead, the latest policy will be updated at the next time when the client (CT) is started and communicates with the target server (Master Management Server or Management Server).
When clicking the [Update Immediately] button
The policy of each tab will be updated both in database and the running the client (CT).
However, the setting of [File Export Prohibition] tab will update policy at the next startup of file export utility when the file export utility has been started at the client (CT) on which the immediate update is performed.
When the application permitted in the [Printing Prohibition] tab has already been started in the client (CT) on which the immediate update is performed, policy will be updated at next application startup.
When logoff or shutdown has been set in the [Logon Prohibition] tab, it will be updated to the running client (CT). In addition, for the client (CT) that is not running and the client (CT) that is unable to communicate with the upper level server, the latest policy will be updated at the next time when the client (CT) is started and communicates with the target server (Master Management Server or Management Server.
Point
When there are a large number of clients (CTs) in a CT group, it is recommended to select [Update at Next Startup]
The timeout period for the connection of a client (CT) that is not connected to the Master Management Server or Management Server is 5 seconds for each client (CT). In addition, in spite of dependence on network environment, when performing [Update Immediately] for the client (CT) that is connected to Master Management Server or Management Server, the time required for each client (CT) to apply policy is approximately 1 second.
Therefore, when there are a large number of CTs that are the target for policy setting, it is recommended to click the [Update at Next Startup] button.
→ When [Name] or [Notes] have been modified, after the policy is updated, the input information will be updated to CT list.
Even if the CT policy is not applied to the client (CT), the group policy of the CT group to which the client (CT) belongs can still be applied. At this time, please select the [Apply Group Policy] checkbox to perform the policy update.
When setting CT group policy, policy can also be set collectively for the subordinate client (CT) under the CT group. In this case, the configuration value of CT policy is the same as the value of CT group policy.
